I'm wondering where I can find the detailed descriptions on R memory management. Understanding this could help me understand the runtime of R program. For example, depending on how memory is allocated (either allocate a chuck of memory that is more than necessary for the current use, or allocate the memory that is just enough for the current use), the performance of the following program could be very different. Could somebody let me know some good references?
unsorted_index=NULL for(i in 1:100) { unsorted_index=c(unsorted_index, i) } unsorted_index ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
